Yes. Burns switched bodies with Charlie Schattler from Diagnosis Murder.
Big and Freaky Friday are the two best. Vice Versa and Dream a Little Dream are also good.

I also think that “Big” was the best of the age reversal movies. I used to try biting the tiny kernels off the baby corns after seeing it.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but in “18 Again,” didn’t George Burns’ character switch bodies with his 18-year-old grandson?

Big and Freaky Friday (original or the remake which was pretty good thanks to the awesomeness of Jamie Lee Curtis)those are the best, and there’s no need for more…

As many times as we’ve seen these movies over the years, it actually sounds like it will be a good movie, and Zac Efron (from the trailers) seems like he can carry a movie.
Of course, I’ll wait for it to come out on Netflix….

The more I see Mr. Efron on talk shows, the more I realize he is utterly lacking in an charm or leading man charisma. The media is making him out to be the next big thing, but I don’t see it in him at all. Ellen couldn’t even get a good interview out of him. He’s too young to act so guarded because of paparazzi. He’s already grumpy at 21.

Um, Freaky Friday anyone? The original, of course. I think this is the grandmother of the genre. Though “Big” did it best.

No, and they need to stop making these movies. Hollywood is really slackign off and running out of ideas.

13 Going on 30 has to be the best of the role reversal movies. But my vote for classic is Like Father Like Son

Classic? This genre got old after the first film, never mind the subsequent re-hashings.
